I teach French to a group of pupils who just arrived in France, therefore they don’t speak French. To motivate these new comers I make them work on a daily newspaper called
l’actu.
I try to choose themes which interest them and which aim at several goals :
– Developing the idea of citizenship,
– Acquiring a language tool, grammar,
– Introducing a personal choice,
– Discovering France, its history and its culture,
– Developing oral expression,
– « Securing » the learner in front of an authentic, non-simplified and non-altered text .
Pupils can also choose articles which will be studied in class.
Classes involved : Pupils from various classes with different levels (FFL).
Subjects : French, French as a foreign language (FFL).
Our acknowledgements to l’actu, the only current issues daily for teenagers from the age of 14, who authorized the reproduction of several pages. Link to the
